Too much cool new shit for one day. Matches, a mirror AND a knife? shit son brain explosion.

Wonderful video. I wonder the condition of the tribe now tho.

Cool video. But kinda sad at the same time. Those natives are probably gonna be wiped out by the common cold or something. Especially after sharing food with them.

Better they were contacted by a Belgian filmmaker than religious zealots their ancestors probably fled from in the first place.

And to all that keep saying "they probably got diseases from these people". If not for foreign visitors, they would all be wiped out by malaria by now anyway. There are other issues that come up that are worse than assuming they are going to bring diseases to them.

^ you're lucky (or privileged) that I could not fail you

You have to remember you don't have to worry even close to as much about giving them diseases like back when first contact was made. Remember when the first people met the natives they took a boat over for months in dirty conditions which caused tons of diseases from living in basically shit and not showering. Now we shower and we are very clean, yes there is still a chance but very unlikely if you don't have a common cold/flu.

They aren't even bronze age. It's like having visitors from 15,000 years in the future.

No but like I said, malaria became a HUGE problem for all these tribes people, regardless of their contact with the western world. And it was western medicine that saved (and continues to save) the known tribes from it.

I'm sure there are many tribes that we never even knew about that are completely wiped off the face of the earth now, succumbing to malaria.

And Jesse Blue. Threatening me with "fails" is sad enough, but when you are too ignorant to even know what I am talking about, that is just double lame. :facepalm:

are you fucking dumb? lol

lol @ all the rxns

Wow

im gonna start hitting myself in the back of the head whenever I taste some good food

friend: reactions remind me of when i met my in laws

touching them in weird places ?

:troll:

could be staged.

2 reasons.

1. he is taking pictures.
2. There are women in the video. Since did women go hunting with the men?

Wonder what comes next...

Logical deductions.

1. Sure, he is taking pictures but since when does taking pictures and recording a video become mutually exclusive events? Especially when there are (as far as we can tell) 2 different guys, one behind the camera recording and the one who is doing the majority of the interactions.

2. Yes, there are women. But that is later on in the vid. Supposedly, one can presume that the men came out first to investigate. After they figured that everything was alright, they got back to get the women. One could also presume that they are not too far from where their reside.

I'm more surprised that you brought up the women but forgot the children.

Notice the children have bulging bellies. That is enough to tell us that they are severely lacking protein from poor diets. Can't stage that

Trying to find more info and found this:

First of all, the video is not from 1976. The date is incorrect on many videos because, most likely, someone misread the following disclaimer, at the bottom of the original upload:

Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976
All rights reserved to the owners the same.

Finding the original upload gives us also a lot more information to go with, from it's description box:

* The white man in the video is the film director Jean-Pierre Dutilleux.
* The tribe in question is the Toulambis.
* The video is allegedly filmed in 1998 (which is false).

All of that may be irrelevant, because the video is fake, according to the article The hunt for authenticity, which was published in the peer-reviewed journal The Journal of Pacific History. To quote the abstract:

Living neither as cavemen nor as colonized subjects, the Ankave-Anga (Papua-New Guinea) are sufficiently isolated for journalists to have seen them as a «lost tribe», even though their «contact» with the outside world dated from the 1950s. Nonetheless, decades of interactions with the state, church and marketplace have not deeply altered their society. Australian archives and accounts of life «before the white man came», even though they refute journalistic dreams of authenticity, paradoxically portray places and times that history can hardly explain.

Unfortunately, there is no English version of the article available online. There is, however, a French version of the article which can be read here. However, allow me to translate the most relevant passage as best as I can. According to the article, it is apparently largely documented that Jean-Pierre Dutilleux was not the first white man to meet the Toulambis:

Although they marry members of the two other valleys (situated at about one or days on foot), are initiated at the same time as them and visit them regularly, they are sufficiently isolated that each European passing in the area takes a picture of them. It is for this reason that, before being described as living in the Stone Age in Paris Match (Dutilleux 1994a), they had allowed themselves to be photographed by three other ethnologists: J. Mimica (in 1979), myself (in 1985), and P. Bonnemère (in 1987).

Living downstream of the commercial route that deliver metal tools to the rest of the Ankave tribe ... they have abandoned their stone adze for at least fifty years. "At least," because, born near 1945, our informant Idzadze Erauye had never seen them before; or because Witi Dzadze, Erwanguye Patse and Idzi Erauye (all in their sixties by 1990) all were young apprentices by the time the first blade arrived. The age of the transition from stone to steel is confirmed by a patrol officer which traveled the South area of the Ankave territory in August 1950. Used "to the thickness of a sheet of paper", these tools of steel were rare and used by the collectivity, but they were well-known, notably by the Toulambis who were traders of such tools.

The colonial Australian archives also show that the territory of the Toulambis has been by visited by at least six patrols between 1929 and 1972:

Interestingly, Jean-Pierre Dutilleux is also cited in the article, defending himself that:

"If the Toulambis are actors, we should give them a César Award."

In either case, if you are fluent in French and are curious to see the whole documentary, it can be purchased online here for about three euros.

next. laptop and 4G mobile internet.

I read recently there is 200 person tribe in the Jungles of Brazil that have been located using satellite imagery. They are the same as this video as they have had no outside contact ever. They are hesitant to make first contact but Illegal logging as well as the drug trade are making it impossible to leave them alone. The number one thing they are concerned about is the spread of disease upon first contact. I'll try to find a link to the article and the pictures...

Here is a link to the article.
